Russian Beet And Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook beets until tender, about 30 minutes. Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook potatoes and carrots until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain vegetables, cool, and remove skins. Dice and place in a large bowl.
• Place the diced pickles in the bowl with beets, potatoes, and carrots. Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the mixture and toss to coat. Season with salt. Sprinkle with green onions. Chill completely before serving.

Steps:

• Mix all salad dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
• Toss remaining ingredients into the large bowl with dressing, toss to coat.
• Chill for at least 1 hour overnight is best.
• Top with sliced egg and sprinkle paprika.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters and steam over 1 inch of boiling water until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. When they are cool enough to handle, cut in small dice.
• Peel the beets and cut in small dice. In a large bowl, combine with the potatoes, celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs and chives.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and salt. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt. Toss with the vegetables. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Serve right away or refrigerate.

Steps:

• Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
• Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
• While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
• Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.
• Unwrap; stir, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to personal tastes. The salad almost always needs more salt stirred in once it's tasted after being chilled. Serve.

Steps:

• Place potatoes, carrots, and beets into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil and turn off heat. Allow pot to sit on burner until potato mixture cools, 1 to 2 hours.
• Place onion in a large bowl and cover with vinegar; set aside.
• Peel and chop potatoes, carrots, and beets; add to onion mixture. Mix peas, sunflower seed oil, dill, sea salt, and black pepper into potato mixture and stir well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• The day before you serve the salad, cook potatoes and carrots together in a pot with enough unsalted water to cover them until done. Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer.
• Carrots should be done around 30 minutes and potatoes should be done around 40 minutes. The vegetables should be tender and easy to pierce with fork. Take each vegetable out of the pot and chill for 1 hour. Remove skin from potato and carrots.
• When ready to make salad, chop beets, carrots, potatoes, and pickles into small cubes and mince the onion. Chop fresh dill.
• In a large serving bowl, mix beets with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Stir to coat well. Add carrots, potatoes, pickles, sauerkraut, green peas/beans, onion and dill. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and mix well. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Chill overnight to allow flavors to mingle.
